-LRB- CNN -RRB- Dolce & Gabbana went familial for fall at its fashion show in Milan on Sunday , dedicating its collection to `` mamma '' with nary a pair of `` mom jeans '' in sight .

Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana , who are behind the Italian brand , sent models down the runway in decidedly feminine dresses and skirts adorned with roses , lace and even embroidered doodles by the designers ' own nieces and nephews .

Many of the looks featured saccharine needlework phrases like `` I love you , mamma '' and `` Per la mamma più bella del mondo '' -LRB- for the most beautiful mother in the world -RRB- as a tableau vivant of moms and daughters stood and posed as a backdrop for the runway .

Even the usually stoic-faced front row could n't help but applaud and smile as a few models carried their own high-fashion progeny down the runway .
